__(1)__ for the past few years the most popular __(2)__on Netflix was undoubtedly Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, as portrayed by Claire Foy and Olivia Colman in The Crown, this fall another type of queen __(3)__her mark: Beth Harmon, the captivating protagonist of The Queen's Gambit, a Netflix original that became an overnight sensation and inspired a slew of discerning viewers to pick up __(4)__.
Call it the Queen's Gambit effect: Chessboards are flying off the (literal and virtual) rack in the wake of the show's hit season. Just ask Anthony Barzilay Freund, editorial director and director of fine art at vintage site 1stDibs: “The Queen's Gambit is driving an interest in the game of chess among new audiences and demographics,” Freund confirms: “At 1stDibs, in just the month following the show's release, we've seen a 100% increase in sales of chessboards, pieces, and tables as compared to this time period last year.”
Of course, while it might be enjoying a renewed popularity at the moment, the game of chess dates back centuries and has long captivated players all over the world. It's believed to have derived from a 7thcentury Indian game, then evolved as it spread across Asia and Europe in the following centuries. As a result, says Freund, “you can find a variety of vintage and contemporary chess paraphernalia from dealers all over the world.” Those who don't necessarily have the budget for pawns of precious stone have a myriad of options on the market at all price ranges. So light a fire, make a drink, and set up the chessboard – Beth Harmon would be proud.

🄰 Finally, queen, is, chess
🄱 Although, queen, made, chess
🄲 However, chessboard, makes, queen
🄳 The Crown, movie, made, queen

Gabarito: 🄱
🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
A frase estabelece um contraste entre duas “rainhas”:
a rainha Elizabeth (The Crown) e Beth Harmon
(The Queen’s Gambit).
Logo:
• (1) exige um conector concessivo → Although
• (2) refere-se à personagem → queen
• (3) pede passado simples → made her mark
• (4) é o objeto inspirado pela série → chess.
📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) ❌ Incorreta — Finally, queen, is, chess.
“Finally” indica conclusão temporal, não contraste.
Além disso, “is her mark” está gramaticalmente errado.
🚩 Pegadinha: advérbio comum fora da relação lógica do texto.
(B) ✅ Correta — Although, queen, made, chess.
“Although” cria concessão correta;
“queen” retoma Elizabeth;
“made her mark” está no passado simples;
“pick up chess” é expressão idiomática correta.
🚩 Pegadinha (da correta): exige leitura global, não tradução palavra a palavra.
(C) ❌ Incorreta — However, chessboard, makes, queen.
“However” não pode iniciar essa estrutura sem pontuação adequada;
“chessboard” não é o foco;
“makes” quebra o tempo verbal.
🚩 Pegadinha: escolher conectivo sem checar estrutura sintática.
(D) ❌ Incorreta — The Crown, movie, made, queen.
“The Crown” não funciona como conectivo;
“movie” é informação irrelevante;
“pick up queen” não faz sentido.
🚩 Pegadinha: confundir referência cultural com função gramatical.
(E) ❌ Incorreta — The Crown, actress, makes, Harmon.
Não há coesão nem sentido semântico;
“makes her mark” deveria estar no passado;
“pick up Harmon” é semanticamente inválido.
🚩 Pegadinha: misturar nomes próprios sem lógica textual.
🚩 3️⃣ Armadilhas clássicas da banca
• Ignorar o valor semântico do conector inicial.
• Não respeitar o tempo verbal da narrativa.
• Escolher substantivos isolados sem coerência contextual.
